Hello
welcome to the site.
I am currently in school and will be starting my clinical this fall. I want soooo badly to work in L&D once I graduate but am afriad they may not hire me because I will be a new grad. Hoping that employers will need me bad enough to see past my lack of experience and be will to train me. What's the likehood of this happening.

alejuandria good luck with your clinicals study all facets of nursing and apply before you graduate and be sure that hr person knows your preference
if you have more than one hosp apply at them all if you have to to another field ask if you can be on a waiting list for nl---try a post surgery you may find good experience working with these pts

Hi Beth. I am new here too. I have little experience- I worked 3 1/2 yrs at a nursing home then worked briefly on medical (2 months) before moving to peds for just under a year. I worked on l&d for 2 1/2 yrs. Presently working as community health nurse (6 months now).
Just found this site by accident. Lots of interesting reading here. And yes, this site is addictive! LOL
